not throwing in the towel on this year, but next year has been the year I've been pointing to for

awhile. With Traore and Bohtelo back from injury and a lot of future impact players on defense getting meaningful playing time this year, the defense should be very solid next year. offensively, there finally should be a homegrown QB behind an OL of Lambert, Jagusah, Schrauth, Craig, and Wagner with Will Black and this year's emergency OL with lots of experience in the 2-deep.
